Red Line products out-of-stock?

[chris719]

I noticed a lot of Red Line products have become unavailable, even directly, like the Assembly Lube, some High Performance oils, etc. I assume this is related to the operational relocation, but it doesn't give much confidence. This has to be temporary, right?

I was told that Redline’s operations were heavily impacted by Hurricane Helene. And they lost a lot of their inventory from it. But I’ll email some people tomorrow and see what’s up.

I got a call back today.

They’re back operational but it’s slow going. There is also a massive back log of orders they are going through. So everything is on allocation currently. It will hopefully be returning to normal by spring.

Their main plant is in Benicia CA, right in the SF Bay Area. Literally 25 miles away from the Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Tesoro and Valero refineries

They closed that plant and moved to Selmer TN, in late summer / fall of 2024. They’re now located in the old Spectrum chemical facility.

Thread 'Redline oil moves operations to Texas & Tennessee'

Apr 16, 2024

Just confirmed Redline Oil, which was based in Benicia California since 1996 has ceased operations there, and moved it to Tennessee. Their website lists Texas for headquarters so must be a Phillips 66 facility and blending/packaging In Tennessee. Kinda glad to see they moved out of Cali, but sad to see Dave retired.

Okay.

According to google, my office is a gas station too. So… what’s the post about?

Just came upon this thread after finding out the same thing. Sold out on Summit, Jegs, etc. for their 10W40. I had to resort to buying a 4gal pack on eBay FFS. I was going to buy my usual 4gal pack anyway but paying the premium kinda sucks.

I also could not get the CV-2 grease back in January and never made the connection. I have ordered a couple other items recently like their oil clean and it's been shipping from R/A Hoerr Inc. which I've read is the new distributor since they left CA.

Go figure, now my local Oreilly has CV-2 in stock as of a couple of weeks ago.
